The news keeps getting better for Nissanand its efforts to boost sales of its all-electric Leaf: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ahs confirmedthat the EV’s range is about 15 percent better than it used to be.

The EPA finalized its 2013 Leaf numbers, confirming a miles per gallon-equivalent rating of 115, up from 99 MPGe. And while the single-charge range distance is only up two miles – to 75 – it’s apples to oranges because the current number stems from about a 90 percent charge whereas the old number is from a full charge (details here). The new Leaf also gets 129 city mpge and 102 mpge on the highway.
